A
Change.org petition has been set up, and currently has over 15,500 people's signatures, asking YouTube to ban Eugenia from posting videos as they think she is setting a bad example for younger girls.
The petition states that, "she has been influencing her viewers by her serious underweight condition." It also says, "her audience on YouTube & YouNow ranges from 12-21 years of age. Being her age audience is in these guidelines, 13-19 years of age is the common peaking age of developing an eating disorder.
"She has been doing nothing to get help. A lot of her audience are young females and some have already battled Anorexia and other eating disorders, Eugenia is setting a bad example for her fellow followers, fans, and friends."
Change.org petition creator Lynn Cloud told
ATTN, "She knows that she's influencing young teenage girls into thinking being 60 lbs. is normal. It's most definitely not. Ever since she has moved out of her mother's house recently, she has been getting skinnier and skinnier. This clearly isn't a 'high metabolism' or any other type of losing body weight uncontrollably condition."
